Investopedia explains 'Double Gold ETF'

It is important to note that even though there is a potential for huge profits with this strategy, the risk that can be incurred could also be significant, in that the price could fall and losses could be huge. Double gold ETFs are by no means a unique fund product. There are numerous leveraged ETFs that aim to deliver movements equal to two or more times the movements of their underlyings. Some examples include leveraged ETFs on natural gas and crude oil. These ETFs can also aim to mimic an inverse movement relative to the underlying; such ETFs are known as inverse or bear ETFs.
